Great for portable textbooks and "maybe" for newspapers
It is awesome that there is another, larger screen, Kindle coming out. It is pretty exciting that Amazon is putting a ton of effort into revolutionizing and popularize eBooks.
If they properly take care of tables, graphics, annotations, that would make this a very powerful tool for textbooks. The impact on traditional newspaper is less clear, unless Kindle can have a very low price point.
Anyway, I don't have a Kindle but checked one out from a friend. The screen is very neat and unlike most standard back-lit LCDs. If you get a chance, check it out. It's VERY cool.
On the note about Amazon, thanks to PC World, I came across an interesting table that shows Amazon’s discounts in various categories.
It is at http://www.uberi.com
Maybe someone will find it useful too, or at least somewhat amusing...
